Screwtape Letters

by C. S. Lewis

Originally serially published in the Guardian during the Nazi blitz of London, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS takes the form of 31 letters written by a devil named Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood, giving advice on the means by which to make Wormwood's "patient" lose faith in God (referred to only as "the enemy"). For Screwtape, the road to hell ("our father's house") is paved not with great sins but rather with petty selfishness, pride, and idleness. Hell is imagined not as a grandiose inferno but as an insidious bureaucracy where the focus is always on the trivial, the slight, and the self rather than on the glory of God. A masterpiece of Christian literature that is also a delightful comedy, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS has remained one of C.S. Lewis's most beloved books.

Media Reviews

"But though it was easy to twist one's mind into the diabolical attitude, it was not fun, or not for long. The strain produced a sort of spiritual cramp."
